The Common Entrance Examination is still the selective mechanism for entry into secondary education, however, national assessment, which has both a diagnostic and a prescriptive role, together with the gradual move towards universal secondary education will eventually change the nature of that examination in terms of identifying the strengths and weaknesses of students.
Sin embargo, la evaluación nacional, que cumple un papel de diagnóstico y de prescripción, conjuntamente con una evolución paulatina hacia la educación secundaria universal, acabará transformando el carácter de dicho examen, que servirá para determinar los puntos fuertes y los puntos flacos de los alumnos.
